ReplyDeleteif he is from Nigeria, he can enter, but he cant win. Nigeria isnt a country listed thats eligible to compete in the contest.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of music, fan of major artists (including Beyoncè) and supporter of new Djs who have something new to say.
ReplyDeleteI've recently supported a remixer of the Beyoncè's competition END OF TIME - it's not important WHO, this competition had almost 3.000 competitors and each of these involved many people including fans and friends, like me, and this because each remix had to be voted as much as possible to be in the most voted top 50 tracks, the winner would have been choosen from
Beyonce and her collaborators from this selection only and the other tracks would have been rejected / not considered or heard.
Few days ago I've finally read about the winner, a producer named Jimek from Poland working in Los Angeles.
This is just a consideration about how the competition has been managed, I have nothing to critic to Jimek's remix which is absolutely a well done production with no doubts, but i'm frustrated as many people spent a lot of time behind this competition and nodoby would complain if things would have been REGULAR, but let me explain better.
As I previously said the competition's terms and conditions were saying the winner would have been choosen from the most voted top 50 remixes through soundcloud, so any competitor started to promote his remix to get votes, plays and comments as much as possible. Who finished and published the remix earlier had statistically more advantage to get higher amount of votes through the active time of the competition before the submission deadline.
My doubts are about these 2 things:
------1- the competition was ended due to its normal deadline date to be reopened immediately the day after for one weeks more, strange thing.
------2- Jimek's remix has been submitted just the last day before the 2nd deadline closing date,his track was the No. 2936 and the last uploaded track was the No. 2948,this means less than an hour from the competition's closing time. So I cannot believe he had votes enough to be in the top 50. Moreover his soundcloud account was made just for this competition featuring that track only with a small amont of followers, even the plays of this track have been generated just after his winning, now he got 240,000 plays but it's normal after he appeared as the winner in several articles out there plus the official beyoncè's website, before that he had few plays only against some thousand from the other competitors submitting remixes earlier and with more fans and followers who voted them.
------It's easy to understand that competitions are made just to generate buzz on the song which is gonna be remixed but to use competitors to promote their remixes trying to be in the top 50 to be selected from the judges of the competition and discovered the winner is a good producer which theorically had no chance to be in these top 50 cause it was a last minute suspicious submission is frustrating! Morover this top 50 chart has been not published anywere, which is not transparent at all, not to mention all the competitors who have the right to know if they were in this selection or not after all them efforts to be included and played by the a&rs and judges from the Beyoncè's staff.
Best wishes to Jimek and his music, I hope similar future competitions from major artists and record companies will be more clear, honest and transaparents respecting fans, remixers and competitors as they rally deserve.
if you have been involved in this competition add me as friend, join my group and share this message to let the people know about this sad music cronicle.
Sincerely, Pavel
